An October 2003 trip to Nottingham by Metten
Quote: A 10-day holiday through the heart of jolly old England.
Hotel | "Canaltime at Sawley Marina"
While the scenery is nice there is not a lot to do on this vacation. The main tourist visits are a beer museum and a sink factory whick take over nine hours of cruising to get to and 52 locks to open and close. A lot of work for very little payoff! Stay at a hotel instead! Or if you must boat choose the Nottingham Castle Marina, which is within walking distance of city center.

Restaurant | "Plank and Leggit Pub"
Beers and ales, however, were generally good. They felt higher in alcohol than I'm used to, but many good varieties are available. This is a great spot to experience the local culture. I recommend it more for the atmosphere than the food.
